MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

The world we live in today is facing an unpredictable and highly volatile future due to factors including the pandemic, an energy crisis, and various geopolitical tensions.

Furthermore, the environment surrounding society is undergoing significant change due to the rapid progress of digital technology and the diversification of people's values, and we are facing unclear and uncertain times.

As we set sail for such uncharted waters, we need our “North Star” which will serve as our guiding principle on our path forward. Looking back on our 103-year history since our founding, we have often discussed Mazda’s North Star from various perspectives in terms of countries, organizations, and positions.

At the very core of our DNA lies a steadfast belief in people along with an unwavering display of courage and tenacity, persistently overcoming even the most difficult obstacles. As a company born and raised in the City of Peace, Hiroshima, we believe in creating joy and smiles which serve as proof of a peaceful and enriching society.

These beliefs are reflected in our Corporate Philosophy as guiding principles and firmly established in our “2030 VISION”, in order that we may become a company that is truly needed by the people living in the future society; a company which promotes value creation together with our stakeholders for the future.

By harnessing a diverse range of technologies and the wisdom and passion of our co-creating partners, we will create moving experiences which inspire people and enrich their life-in-motion. Experiences that deliver the excitement of sharing that pleasure with family and friends, as we aim to achieve a society where carbon neutrality is realized, and where people can move safely and freely with peace of mind.

We will continue pursuing the Joy of Driving for customers’ Joy of Living and contribute to the society.

June 2023
